Does a four-day workweek actually improve productivity, or is it just a nice perk that most companies can't afford? I've been reading about pilot programs in the UK where some firms reported higher output and happier staff, but those were often small teams in tech or creative fields. In manufacturing or customer service, covering the fifth day seems like a logistical nightmare, especially when shifts are already tight. Would you trade a slightly longer Monday-to-Thursday for a guaranteed Friday off, or do you think the traditional five-day structure protects business continuity better than we admit?
